ECAuth0Backend 0.2.2

Django app to authenticate with code or JWT for DjangoRestFramework

Source

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. API WILL LIKELY KEEP CHANGING FOR NOW.

Experimental application to manage code and jwt auth from Auth0 with Django.

If you’re using the JWT mechanism, you’ll need to include the openid email scopes to get the email_verified claim.

This app provides a custom user model which is required for use with the app (see step 2 of setup).

Setup

1. Add to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'ECAuth0Backend',
   ]

2. Set django to use the ECAuth0Backend user model:

   AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'ECAuth0Backend.A0User'

3. Include the URLconf in your project urls.py like this:

   import ECAuth0Backend.urls
   
   urlpatterns = [
       # your urls
   ] + ECAuth0Backend.urls.urlpatterns

4. Run python manage.py migrate to create the user model.

5. Add the required configuration to your settings.py (you can look through ECAuth0Backend.settings.py for more settings):

   AUTH0_DOMAIN = '' # Your auth0 domain
   
   AUTH0_CODE_CLIENT_ID = '' # Your auth0 client ID for code auth
   AUTH0_CODE_CLIENT_SECRET = '' # Your auth0 client secret for code auth
   AUTH0_CODE_CALLBACK_PATH = '' # Callback url you want auth0 to send the client back to (url pattern defined below)
   
   AUTH0_JWT_SECRET = '' # auth0 client secret for jwt client
   AUTH0_JWT_CLIENT_ID = '' # auth0 client id for jwt client

6. Add the authentication backend:

   AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
       'ECAuth0Backend.backend.Auth0Backend',
       'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
   ]

7. For JWT with DRF use ECAuth0Backend.jwt.Auth0JWTAuthentication as an authentication class
